It was amazing and I’ll have a movie in Youtube soon. There will be a lot of RP around in the future.
Lieber GM (ich glaub ich weiß wer’s ware

Danke für das Event gestern. Ich mach auch ein Youtube Video draus.
But on the other hand, I had the feeling role play was dropped during the event yesterday.
Ich hatte gestern das Gefühl, das Rollenspiel ist zu kurz gekommen.
According to my memories the first wasp explodes about 21:15. The last extinguishable fire dies in water about 22:15. In between felt 6 minutes chance for RP and the other time just cleaning the landscape from wasps and fire.
50 or more fire wasps sound like a good idea but once a single is killed a chain reaction is started. I’d bet most of the wasps were killed by … wasps. So even if some player tried other options, such a situation goes out of control soon. And at the end the fire has to extinguish what ends in endless click orgies. Since you have to active all the time, there is no time for role play.
50 Feuerwespen schauen toll aus, aber sobald die erste explodiert beginnt eine Kettenreaktion. Die töten sich gegenseitig! Jeder Versuch, das Ereignis mit anderen Mitteln zu kontrollieren, war zum Scheitern verurteilt.
We need to be aware that the time in Illarion is running much slower as in reality once we speak due to the delays in writing and reading (except the player using a TS channel). Speaking and listening is much faster. But once it comes to a fight or the necessity to extinguish a fire, time runs in real time. And if there are endless fights or fires, there is no time for RP anymore. And fire is even more critically than monster. Just psychologically no one is ignoring a fire, a monster could be holding on distance for some minutes until a strategy is found.
Bitte berücksichtigt, in Illarion läuft die Zeit deutlich langsamer wenn wir sprechen (außer vielleicht bei denen die einen offenen TS Kanal haben). Bei einem Kampf oder Feuer läuft die Zeit aber in Echtzeit. Bei einem riesigen Feuer geht alle Zeit in der Klickorgie drauf. Während man ein Monster noch auf Distanz halten kann fordert Feuer psychologisch zu sofortiger Aktion.
So a proposal for such an event:
50 normal wasps plus 10 fire wasps. There will be a firework too but more opportunities for RP.
Mein Vorschlag:
Anstelle 50 Feuerwespen, 50 normale Wespen und 10 Feuerwespen. Das gibt Feuerwerk und RP.
And additionally we have some bugs or features I’ll report in Mantis:
Fire cannot be extinguished if it is not on a plain tile, at least not for sure. Burning grass, trees, doors or even bloodstains prevent any action of a fire brigade.
It seems the fire blocked warp fields and I’ve seen at least one char went to Cherga trying to leave the house. and ended on a not working warp field.
